What do you sound like? We all have a voice but we never get to hear it. So lets try this one. Describe your voice. Tone, accent, anything unusual about it. Let's see if we can stretch it out to the minimum word length of 50...poem preferred but whatever you are more comfortable with. I will try one too. don't forget to tag me.

Viva Voce

Two weeks in,

I felt that tickle in the back of my throat.

My vocal cords, played with a feather.

The feeling said "you're losing your voice, stop now."

I ignored it.

I liked the gravelly quality it lent

(with a touch of chain-smoker).

"PLATOOON ATEEEN-HUT!

LEEEFt fHACE!

FOrWAArD...MAARRCH!"

Loud and thunderous

just like sar'ent said.

By weeks end

I whispered commands

with every fiber of my being.
